Summary
Read the article. One of the common misconceptions about the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible is that it is a universally public domain work—something many tout as a feature of its superiority to modern copyrighted translations. But most don’t realize that it is still under a special perpetual copyright of the Crown in the United Kingdom . Unlike the KJV, some modern translations such as the Berean Standard Bible are public domain worldwide . So while it’s important for a Bible translation to be in the public domain, there are modern translations that fulfill that better than the KJV does. sellingjesus.org | thedoreanprinciple.org | copy.church
